Guest guest Posted November 5, 2004 Report Share Posted November 5, 2004 Diane: I'm not familiar with what you are saying about the income tax. Could you explain it, is there a special deduction for children with a disability? And, you can claim it retroactive? Thanks, Vicky Message: 2 Date: Fri, 05 Nov 2004 03:58:08 -0000 Subject: Re: the day you got the dx what do you wish... ---I was pretty informed on treatments, etc..... But I wish I would have been told to go back to birth on income tax and claim her as a disability sooner than at 7 yrs old. Mind you we did go retroactive to birth and got back $7000 which was nice to be able to use for her. The governement/doctors don't tell you what you are entitled to at all, we just got her this past year a whole new computer system, I didn't know about respite twice a year. The only $$ we were told about was the meezly $119 a month we get for a handicapped child. In Autism_in_Girls , " Debi H. " <fightingautism@y...> wrote: > you would have been told?

Guest guest Posted November 7, 2004 Report Share Posted November 7, 2004 Diane, I didn't know that either. That would be nice, as we are now in home-school and could use a deduction.
